Description
The Glenlivet 15 Year Old single malt scotch whisky, resplendent in deep gold, leaves an enduring impression of sweet almond and spice. Pioneers in the whisky-making industry, The Glenlivet was one of the first to utilize French oak, a technique that has since been replicated worldwide.
The Limousin oak used is sourced from France’s Dordogne region, renowned for its use in maturing cognacs. The low-density nature of this wood allows the whisky to penetrate deeply into the grain. Careful control over the maturation time in the casks ensures that the whisky’s unique, pleasing spiciness isn’t overshadowed.
This whisky presents a rich, buttery profile with fruit aromas. The palate is treated to a round and incredibly smooth experience, featuring fruity and nutty flavors accompanied by a gentle cinnamon spiciness. The finish lingers with notes of almond and spice, rounding off a truly unique tasting journey.
